Thanks, Trump for the civics lesson. We are learning so much about impeachment, the 25th Amendment, order of succession, nepotism, separation of powers, 1st Amendment, obstruction of justice, the emoluments clause, Logan Act, conflicts of interest, collusion, sanctions, oligarchs, money laundering and so much more.

Both sides will use the wedge. And as usual neither party will follow through and please the base of the party. Both major parties are bunch of greedy frauds!! I hope the American people as a whole can soon wake up and see what kind of toads we have running the show in Washington.

Refers to the devices used to pry people away fro what would ordinarily be their own economic self-interest.

Oh c'mon.
There are two blaring problems with that.
1. It assumes that people have a universally agreed heuristic of what their economic self-interest is. Ohh, they're poor or middle class, they have to want government entitlements, they don't want opportunity, they want assurance.
2. It assumes that economic self-interest is station-zero for political decision making, and voters must be 'pried' from it to change their outlook.

I don't disagree with those assumptions being implicit in the concept, nor that your analysis offers a different way to look at it.

The reason there is no follow through is because it would take the bullets out of their guns. If they leave the "evil" of the world in place, they can perpetually "promise" to make changes.
